ORGANIC LAWN FOOD 5M

Here in the south, if you apply pre-emergent and fertilizer at the same time via a single “weed and feed” product, you tend to end up “juicing” the weeds that have already germinated. As a result, I’m one of the few who prefers to apply a pre-emergent and fertilizer separately. I have always applied a 0-0-10 pre-emergent in February, but have struggled to find the opposite to spread in the month of April - until now. This 10-0-1 fertilizer is perfect for my application and the slow-release formula helps prevent me from scorching my lawn. Would highly recommend.

I was looking for a fertilizer with a high amount of water insoluble nitrogen, in order to continually feed through 6-8 weeks in the summer. Regular fertilizers often consist of water soluble N for rapid green and quick growth right off the bat, which would stress my lawn during the heat of summer. Also, due to the ingredients, the JG fertilizer helps feed the microbes in the soil, which in-turn helps feed the grass and improves soil quality.I will definitely be giving it another round toward the end of the summer heat. One thing to note is that the bag is 17lbs, which I didn't catch upon ordering. So in order to get the target pounds of N per 1000sqft that I was shooting for, I had to add in a few pounds of a different fertilizer. Next time I'll be ordering 3 bags instead of two in order to make sure I'm fully covered. However, that's my bad for not paying attention to the details.

This fert was recommended by my soil test results. My soil is very high in phosphorus and other fertilizers with added phosphorus were keeping my yard yellow. I made that mistake for years! No longer! This stuff took a couple of weeks to really take hold and green up. The picture is from two weeks after the application. Two weeks after that, it's still nice and dark.

My lawn looks very healthy after started using this.

Good product & good quality
